Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan received Egyptian Ambassador Bahaa El Din Bahgat Dessouki, who is completing his diplomatic mission in Armenia.

The PM assessed the diplomatic activity of Dessouki in Armenia and the work done toward the development of Armenian-Egyptian relations as effective, which contributed to the positive dynamics in bilateral relations. Pashinyan noted that Armenia values continuous dialogue with Egypt and is interested in deepening it.

The Ambassador of Egypt, in turn, said that during his tenure, he invested maximum efforts for the development of relations between the two countries. He noted the high level of cooperation in the political and cultural spheres, and emphasized the readiness of the Egyptian side to bring economic ties to that milestone as well—given that Armenia has good investment opportunities.

The sides exchanged thoughts on the prospects for cooperation in  tourism, construction, and technology.

The Prime Minister wished success to the Egyptian Ambassador in his future activities, and expressed hope that with his experience and knowledge, Dessouki will continue to contribute to the strengthening of Armenian-Egyptian relations.
